Friday, 1 October 2010
Another defamation suit, now in the capital, has been filed against Jamaat-e-Islami counsel Fakhrul Islam, on charges of smearing freedom fighters' honour.
Sadrul Alam Chowdhury, president of the Bangladesh Awami Freedom Fighters’ League, filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court Thursday, reports bdnews24.com.
Magistrate Mehedi Hasan Talukder accepted the case and ordered Fakhrul to appear before the court on October 26.
The plaintiff, in his statement, stated that the Jama’at lawyer had made untoward comments relating to the country's liberation war and had thus tarnished his and other freedom fighters' honour.
Earlier on September 22, Fakhrul Islam, stated, "There was no independence war in 1971. It was a war between India and Pakistan, not with Bangladesh."
Three more cases on similar charges had been filed in Tangail, Naogaon and Mymensingh.
